Rubellite, Emerald and diamond drop earrings

It’s the colour story that does it. These earrings blend the vivid raspberry tones of rubellite with the lush green of emeralds, then throw in the sparkle of natural diamonds for good measure. Set in sleek white gold, the colours shine even more. Most jewellery sticks to safe, single-gem designs. This pair? It’s a playful yet sophisticated mix that feels both modern and timeless.

We also love the shape. Those pear-cut rubellites dangle elegantly, catching light with every move. Meanwhile, the geometric diamond and emerald frame adds an architectural edge. Together, you get earrings that are dramatic without ever feeling overdone.

Because we only use premium stones, you see true depth in each gem. The rubellites glow with berry and magenta flashes, while the emeralds offer rich green you can spot across the room. If you’re after a piece that makes people pause and say, “wow, where did you get those?”, these earrings are it.

Great question — and honestly, it’s totally up to you. Many of our clients love wearing their fine jewellery daily. Rubellite and emeralds both sit around 7.5 on the Mohs scale, so they’re sturdy enough for regular outings. The secure white gold settings and strong posts mean you can trust them to stay put.

That said, we always suggest taking them off for gym sessions, gardening or using cleaning chemicals. Chlorine and harsh products can gradually affect both natural gemstones and gold. For workdays, these earrings look gorgeous with a tailored blazer or a simple blouse, adding personality without being too loud.

When evening hits, they transition seamlessly into more glam territory. That’s why they’re such a smart investment. You’re not buying earrings that sit in a box waiting for a gala; you’re getting versatile jewellery that elevates even your Tuesday.

There are so many ways to make these earrings shine. If you want them to take centre stage, keep your outfit sleek and neutral. A black, ivory or deep grey dress makes the rubellite and emerald pop beautifully.

Love colour? Pair them with jewel tones like sapphire blue, deep teal or even rich plum. Because the earrings already combine multiple shades, matching with similar intensity creates a luxurious, coordinated look. For a softer style, try them with dusty rose or muted olive — surprising, but gorgeous.

Jewellery-wise, you can keep things minimal. A slim white gold band or a fine diamond tennis bracelet balances everything perfectly. Want more inspiration? Our Instagram is full of styling ideas from clients who aren’t afraid to play with colour. You’ll probably spot a few combos you’ll want to try immediately.

Taking care of these earrings is straightforward. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a drop of gentle dish soap. Let the earrings soak for about 10 minutes. This helps loosen dirt and oils. Then use a super-soft toothbrush to lightly scrub around the rubellite, emeralds, diamonds and the white gold settings.

Rinse them well under lukewarm water. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth — never paper towels, which can scratch the gold. Store your earrings separately in a lined jewellery box or a soft pouch. This prevents harder stones, like sapphires or diamonds in other pieces, from bumping against them.

We also recommend popping into our Sydney boutique once or twice a year for a professional clean and prong check. That way, your earrings stay sparkling and secure. You can easily book a care appointment with us anytime.

It comes down to quality, craft and service. At Ernesto Buono, we hand-select every rubellite and emerald to meet our high standards for colour, cut and brilliance. Many big brands use stones that look flat or overly dark to cut costs. We never do.

Every pair is crafted right here in Sydney, set in solid white gold with secure, expertly polished claws. That means you get earrings designed to last, not just to look good for a season.

But beyond the jewellery itself, there’s the experience. As a boutique, we take time to help you try on styles, see how they work with your skin tone and give honest advice. We also offer cleanings, checks, resizing and styling ideas long after you’ve made your purchase. It’s why so many of our clients return for more — they know we care about their pieces as much as they do.
